None dare call it "sedition."

Oh, this is delightful. As more than one pundit has pointed out, if a left-wing pol had done this during the Bush administration, the wingnut shrieking would have been off the scale. On the other hand, when a Republican does it, well, behold:

Asked about the White House-backed cap-and-trade proposal to reduce carbon emissions, Bachmann told WWTC 1280 AM, "I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back. Thomas Jefferson told us 'having a revolution every now and then is a good thing,' and the people -- we the people -- are going to have to fight back hard if we're not going to lose our country. And I think this has the potential of changing the dynamic of freedom forever in the United States."

In other news, we on the Left are, apparently, uncivil. Or so I've heard.
